Driving the FlexRoute

It is expected that the new US-23 FLEX Route that runs between Ann Arbor and M-36 will be open to traffic and fully functional about mid-November!

MDOT is implementing new Flex Route technology to manage congestion and improve safety along US-23. Michigan's first Flex Route will use a lane control system compromised of overhead signs, cameras, and electronic message boards mounted on large gantries. The system will manage freeway traffic more efficiently during peak hours by opening and closing the median shoulder to traffic.

Before the Flex Route is open to traffic, drivers need to familiarize themselves as to how a Flex Route works. They can start by viewing this brief video, “Driving the Flex Route” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lrVV73FDVo
